Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday criticized the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, calling him a pawn for US interests.

Ahmadinejad said that IAEA was a tool for a few countries bent on world domination, and stated that Iran would continue to pursue nuclear development despite international pressure.
